Traveling Back Early: Forcing the Young Empress to Sign a Lifetime Servitude Contract

91: Threat from my little darling”Mother, I want to go!”

Ji Qianyou repeated herself once more.

”You...”

Ji Li was at a loss for words.

Seeing her daughter hugging Chen Qingxuan, her heart inexplicably quickened, but seeing her daughter’s matter-of-fact look... she swallowed back the words on the tip of her tongue.

After all... it was only reasonable for a Revered Master to give a hug.

There was no need to mind it!

At this moment, Chen Qingxuan spoke up, ”Be good, Qian You. Revered Master cannot take you with me this time. I cannot guarantee what dangers exist in that Land of Extreme Cold in the Northern Abyss, and I’m not even sure if that person is willing to cooperate with me... Listen to the Madam and stay obediently in the Demon Emperor Palace to Cultivate.”

Ji Li nodded in agreement. ”Your Revered Master is right. You must stay in the Demon Emperor Palace... If anyone goes, it should be Mother going with him!”

”?”

Chen Qingxuan was startled.

He looked at Ji Li in disbelief. ”You can’t go either! I already said that place is dangerous... I’m not going on a picnic; I’m going to the Land of Extreme Cold in the Northern Abyss!”

”Stop arguing, all of you.”

At this point, Xuan Ling spoke up, interrupting the three of them.

Meeting their surprised gazes, she stepped forward and said, ”What are you all fighting for? Why don’t you all just stay in the Demon Emperor Palace... and I’ll go by myself.”

Chen Qingxuan suddenly understood and pulled something out as he stepped forward. ”This is the route I planned in advance. You’ll need to pass through a Human Race territory in the Central State in the middle. Remember to disguise yourself, hide your Yao Race aura, and bring the person back...”

”I’ll bring back your head! Are you really letting me go?”

Xuan Ling was on the verge of a breakdown.

Having said that, she stormed out of the room in a huff... This was bullying a demon too much.

Was her life not a life?

Inside the hall, only the family of three remained.

”Mother, Revered Master... my mind is made up.”

Ji Qianyou puffed out her cheeks and said solemnly, ”I’ve never left the Demon Emperor Palace in all my years. Mother, you never have the chance to take me out, and finally, an opportunity has come... Revered Master always treats me like a child, but I’m already more powerful than Mother. I don’t need Revered Master’s protection at all... I’m going out!”

As she spoke, Ji Qianyou looked at Chen Qingxuan with dissatisfaction.

”Qian You...”

Chen Qingxuan was about to say something;

But before he could finish, Ji Qianyou patted her own little bottom and a hint of threat flashed through her beautiful eyes as she looked at Chen Qingxuan. ”If you still won’t let me go... I’m telling on you!”

”Hmm?”

Chen Qingxuan’s eyes widened.

Faced with his Beloved Disciple’s threatening little gesture, how could he not guess what she wanted to report him for?

Wasn’t it just mistaking her for someone else... and giving her two slaps?

Why was she using that as a threat now?

”Ahem!” Chen Qingxuan cleared his throat and said solemnly, ”Madam, as the saying goes, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. No matter how high Qian You’s cultivation is, if she lacks rich experience and insight, it’s all just armchair strategy... This is indeed a good opportunity for her to go out and gain experience. With me around, you can rest assured!”

”Wait, what...?”

Ji Li was bewildered.

He didn’t agree just now... how did he change his mind so suddenly?

”Mother, even Revered Master has said so, so don’t insist anymore... After I leave, the Demon Emperor Palace still needs you to manage it!” Ji Qianyou beamed with joy, her ruby-like eyes shimmering with great satisfaction as she looked at Chen Qingxuan.

Ji Li frowned and said, ”I said no, and I mean no. You cannot leave the Demon Emperor Palace... that is my bottom line!”

The scene shifted.

The master and disciple pair had packed their bags.

”Revered Master, which way are we going?” Ji Qianyou’s eyes were full of excitement about going out.

Chen Qingxuan replied, ”First, we’ll head north from the Western Regions, then turn into the Central State midway, and finally enter the Northern Abyss from the Central State... This is the route I’ve planned long ago. it saves trouble, effort, and time!”

”It doesn’t matter, we don’t need to save time.”

Ji Qianyou expressed.

Chen Qingxuan glanced at her, then looked back at the now distant Demon Emperor Palace.

The next moment, he raised an eyebrow and said, ”You were threatening me just now?”

”Hmm?” Ji Qianyou’s little face froze, and she squeezed out a cute expression. ”Who told you not to want to take me... I could only resort to such a tactic.”

”And you think you’re in the right?”

Chen Qingxuan made a show of rolling up his sleeves. ”Is it appropriate to use that kind of thing to threaten Revered Master? If your mother or anyone else heard it... Revered Master wouldn’t be able to explain himself.”

Ji Qianyou patted him and soothed, ”Revered Master, don’t be angry. So-called innocence is just a sheet of paper; it all depends on what people write on it... Relax, don’t be so petty... Anyway, whether you explain it or not, the entire Cangyun Continent already thinks I’m your little Cauldron~”

”...”

Chen Qingxuan was speechless.

A thousand rebuttals gathered in his mouth, but he was powerless to argue.

She was such a small thing... which person without a bottom line started the rumor that his Beloved Disciple was his Cauldron?

”Put on your mask first, to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.” Chen Qingxuan sighed lightly, too lazy to argue any further, and took out the gear he had prepared beforehand.

”Mm-hmm!”

Ji Qianyou obediently complied.

Two days later.

The master and disciple pair arrived at a border city in the Western Regions.

According to Chen Qingxuan’s plan, they would turn into the Central State region from here. This would not only shorten the journey but also avoid the dangers of the Northern Abyss border.

To be honest, Chen Qingxuan didn’t want to go to that place known as the Land of Death if he didn’t have to.

So, if they could take a detour through other places, there was no need to step into the world of ice and snow ahead of time.

After entering the Central State region;

Ji Qianyou appeared particularly excited.

After all, for the Yao Race, the Human Race territory had always been an extremely mysterious and dangerous place. Previously, she wasn’t even allowed to leave the Demon Emperor Palace;

Let alone personally stepping onto Human Race territory.

This feeling was like... being eighteen and entering prison for the first time;

The oncoming smell of rust and decay couldn’t block out the brilliance of a humorous cellmate; it was always so novel and nerve-wracking.

”Revered Master, Revered Master.” Ji Qianyou tugged at Chen Qingxuan’s hand and looked up with her little face. ”Can we play in the Central State for a few more days?”

”Hmm?”

Chen Qingxuan was slightly taken aback and said with a bitter smile, ”This trip is to go to the Northern Abyss...”

”I know!”

Ji Qianyou interrupted him, her eyes full of anticipation. ”Just for a few days... Qian You hasn’t been to the Human Race territory before... it won’t delay going to the Northern Abyss... Okay, Revered Master? Please, please~”

”Sigh, you...”

Chen Qingxuan couldn’t help but show a doting smile;

When such a cute and soft little disciple acted spoiled, it really made one have no resistance.

Especially when he met those big eyes full of longing, it made it even harder for him to refuse. ”Fine, but it’s a deal... we can’t play for too long, we still need to rush to the Northern Abyss as soon as possible!”

”Revered Master is the best~”

Ji Qianyou immediately beamed with joy.

And so.

They arrived at a Human Race city.

The master and disciple pair, who should have bypassed the city directly, walked inside instead.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Ji Qianyou looked left and right, acting cautiously like a little wild cat that had wandered into a crowd and felt insecure.

Chen Qingxuan told his Beloved Disciple via secret transmission, ”Relax, your Yao Race aura is completely hidden. No one can see through your identity.”

”Oh, oh~”

Ji Qianyou nodded as she suddenly understood.

”Come, Revered Master will take you to try some Human Race food.”

Chen Qingxuan spotted a teahouse and pulled her little hand as they walked over.

There were many customers in the teahouse. Since he didn’t plan on staying long, Chen Qingxuan didn’t go to a private room or book a room; he just took his Beloved Disciple to find an empty table and sat down.

”Have you heard? The Demon Lord of the Demon Emperor Palace is pregnant with Chen Qingxuan’s child!”
